Stronger and better
2 weeks in to the 5 week Squat/leg strength programme. Been going great so far.
Only thing I've changed is the front squat percentages: instead doff working off cnj max, Ice worked off front squats max. So week 2 day 3 ended up being 5x3 at 90%fs1rm
- despite being hard it actually ended up being a volume personal best.
So looking forward to the next 3 weeks of training

Leg strength
The Programm is awesome and more then complete. I had more soreness from the auxiliary work in the posterior chain then in the quads itself. Great for core stability and with the light weightlifting sets you stay in the movements and mobility at any time. PR +15% in both FS and BS.

It is easy to find a squat program out there, but there isn't much option when you want to combine it with Olympic lifts. This leg strength program has a good balance between back squat, and front squat and make sure there are adequate amount of only lifts to maintain muscle memory. I use this as an opportunity to improve my technique since I am working with a lighter weight. 10/10 recommend.
After successfully winning the London Olympics in 2012, I decided to devote myself to coaching and share my experience with athletes who are interested in lifting heavy weights correctly and safely.

FAQ
Do I need to squat heavy every day?
The answer is NO! Full squatting can be unnecessarily fatiguing. Also, squatting may have limited carry-over into the snatch and clean & jerk without incorporating proper skill practice.
How frequently should I train?
This program is designed to be 4 days per week. We do not recommend training 4 days in a row. On your rest days, try to plan recovery activities, such as massages, or sauna.
What if I don't know what an exercise is?
We have video links embedded in the program for every exercise!
Can I combine it with other types of training?
We do not recommend combining this program with other high-intensity workouts. You can add, at your discretion, recovery activities to develop flexibility and mobility, as well as short (up to 30 minutes) low-intensity cardio work (walking, rowing, swimming). Be sure to plan one full day off in each weekly cycle. The program's effectiveness largely depends on your responsibility when it comes to the training process, sleep, nutrition, and recovery. Train smart, get enough rest.
Is it necessary to train in weightlifting shoes?
We highly recommend you wear weightlifting shoes, also known as Lifters. Whether you’re a functional fitness athlete or a weightlifter, you will find them beneficial.
Started applying the drills 1 week ago and am amazed by the extensive detail of the mobility procedures. Only change I would suggest is to have a separate specific platform for starting the videos instead of having to start them individually every time.
I have dipped my toes into olympic lifting for a while. Finally I have a structured program which I feel I can run through a couple of times. I feel my techniques have improved and actually my squat (back and front) have improved significantly by more than 15%. Additionally my trunk is much more stable and I am more aware of how I move during the lifts. Really recommend this for everyone who loves throwing around barbells.

I appreciate you providing me the chance to learn from you.
Additionally, this club helps us become more confident. I'm becoming better, and I have a lot more confidence now than I had.
I develop my discipline. I'm becoming encouraged by this club since we're supporting one another.
I'm currently reading the Snatch master class PDF. I'm having a great time with a practical.
I always value your counsel and advice. Your tiny hints could help us improve our lift. And it’s improving a lot.
You might need to work with lower % the first week, the power exercises squat, deadlift and pulls are not that frequent
You may need to add some auxiliary work, and maybe add some technique the weeks that you don’t snatch
I am enjoying that I feel fresh
Hi! Thanks for your feedback.
Any training plan is not dogma - just an action manual.
So it is smart to adapt it to individual needs.
It's the program that made me more Interested with Torokhtiy. I am starting OLY WOD after my vacation. I want to give this program My full attention rather than trying to look for a Gym during my vacation.
I started actively weightlifting 4 years ago. After 2 years I started to feel uncomfortable in my lower back and suffered from tight hips. I stopped for a year due to other life events and to try something different. After a long hiatus I missed the feel of getting under the bar again but couldn’t find a program I felt would be suitable for me. Until I found WL4FF, the exercises really help avoid any low back pain or tight hips, and I’m feeling great after each lifting session. If you have experience Weightlifting you will definitely enjoy this program. 💪
The group chat helps me stay motivated and focused on my goals
I find the form-checks and the coaches’ comments very helpful
for improving my technique and learning by watching the advice given to others.
It’s inspiring to interact with Oleksiy. He’s always available,
and I really like the way he corrects and explains things, making everything clearer!!!
I’d definitely recommend joining Torokhtiy Club,
especially for those who want to improve not only as athletes but also as coaches.
Being in touch with various athletes and coaches and seeing many mistakes and visual corrections made by Oleksiy and Sergey.
The answers and explanations are great, simple and user friendly.
It is very cool when Oleksiy motivates everyone and praises or corrects.
Feedback on lifts are very helpful, makes me understand more and see mistake myself as well.
